In the nine realms of the world, the first emperor suddenly collapsed and passed away without an edict. The emperor of Shangjing, Jun Gun, and the emperor of Dongdu, Ji Zhang, each insisted on their orthodoxy. The royal family, princes and powerful ministers all fell into disgrace, and Xishan Road, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, suddenly fell into chaos.
Chu Huaitian, the son of the governor of the East China Sea, just wants to read thousands of idle books, travel thousands of miles, and write "the best novel about supernatural beings in the world". An order transferred his father to the front line in Pingyang, and also dragged him into a killing situation. On the way away from home, Ye Xiao suddenly picked up the bronze talisman of Zhenyue that should have been on his father's body. When the talisman fell and arrows arrived, almost all the people who followed him were killed. He escaped by chance, but became an imperial criminal who "stealed important weapons of the imperial court."
Not knowing martial arts, he could only rely on the power of mountains and rivers to get rid of his pursuers, and deduce people's hearts from clues. After crossing the Yellow River and entering Langya, he met Ye Zhenzhen, a girl carrying a three-edged black iron sword, but found that the palace's defense plan was being secretly traced, and the people hiding in the dark had already written the crime of collaborating with the enemy for him.
He originally wanted to write about all the gods and monsters in the world, but in the end he discovered that the weirdest thing in the world is never the ghosts and gods, but the human heart that can turn loyal ministers into thieves and murderous situations into destiny.
